📝 🏀 Grant Nelson is a guy I'm watching ... (UPDATE: 6' 11" forward commits to Bama.)

Or hell, I'd settle for a punter.

A kid named Anderson Green made an impression at camp.

He has a good handle for being so tall.

Nice addition. Welcome to Tuscaloosa!

Is he supposed to be recruited as a rim protector? Watching that video the guy can handle the ball for a 6'11' guy. Very athletic big man. Going to be interesting to see how he fits at Bama and how he defends.

I would make the comparison to Noah Clowney and how we used him this past season.

White Robert Horry with better ball skills?

This is a HUGE get and much needed.

So we are still in need of a rim protector to replace Bediako?

I would say yes. Think we have room for 1 more and that will likely be the direction we take if there is one available.

FWIW, Nelson has not officially committed. He's awaiting to he cleared academically. But he should be shortly. He still intends on committing to us.

There won't be an announcement. He'll enroll and life goes on ...

I thought he already signed the paper

It is unfortunate that his commitment was leaked. Musselman and his sleazy ass staff likely had something to do with it.

I haven't heard any confirmation on that. Just heard it was a done deal that he was committing here.

If so, that's great. The guys I usually get inside info from are pretty big donors to the basketball program and usually have some inside scoop.

Nah ... I have every reason to believe it was click bait.

I'll leave it up to Terry, but I'm pretty sure he had a class he needs to wrap it up and then he's good to go, and he should be on campus soon... I"m not worried about this situation,

Definitely not worried at all.

Why reason to believe?
